Artist/Band: XTC
Lyrics for Song: Statue Of Liberty
Lyrics for Album: Fossil Fuel: The Xtc Singles 1977–92 [1996]



The first time I saw you standing in the water

You must have been all of a thousand feet tall

Nearly naked - unashamed like Herod's daughter

Your love was so big

It made New York look small



You've been the subject of so many dreams

Since I climbed your torso

Oh!

My statue of Liberty

Boo Boo

Impaled on your hair

What do you do

Do Do to me

Boo Boo



I leaned right over to kiss your stoney book

A little jealous of the ships with whom you flirt

A billion lovers with their cameras

Snap to look and in my fantasy

I sail beneath your skirt


Statue Of Liberty

Statue Of Liberty stands as a vibrant example of XTC's early new wave energy, capturing the band's signature blend of melodic pop and intricate instrumentation. Released during a prolific period for the English group, the track showcases their ability to craft catchy, radio-friendly singles that balanced whimsical themes with tight songwriting. The recording reflects the band's evolution from their initial punk-adjacent roots into a more polished, art-rock sound that would define much of their subsequent discography. As part of their extensive catalogue of singles, the song remains a testament to their creative output during the late 1970s and early 1980s, offering listeners a concise glimpse into their unique musical identity without relying on complex arrangements.
